In an effort to help you keep that to-read list updated, I’ve compiled the hot urban fantasy and paranormal romance releases for January 2013. All dates are U.S. and tentative. Also: Click the title of any book to visit the Amazon page for pre-order or purchase goodness.

I’ve included genre classification with each book: UF is urban fantasy, PNR is paranormal romance, F is fantasy and YA is young adult.

Not that I’m complaining…..ok,…I am complaining a little! But what’s up with all these YA books? Is it that more YA books are being published, fewer non-YA or both? I know lots of people really like them, but they just aren’t for me.

I like YA books, so for me it works. The reason you see more than usual on the list this month is because January, August and September are bigger months for YA releases as they coincide with the semester system in U.S. schools.
